Looking for some advice - prepping Z for first track day

Fuel starvation really depends on the track configuration. Do you have any long right hand corners? If so you probably don't want any less that 3 dots from full.

This is the configuration I'll be running at Buttonwillow. I've run this track config probably 10 times before (years ago) which is why I chose it as my first foray into driving the Z on a road course. Riverside is definitely a long, sweeping right hander. The sweeper (turn 10) will probably be a concern too for this problem. Looks like I'll be bringing a couple 5 gallon jugs of fuel just to make sure I don't end up ruining my day with this weird issue.

If you have a stick. Wrap your clutch line down by the tranny with insulation. This will help with some CSC problems that pop up. Yellowstuff pads, you can DD with them too. When you get more speed. Then you can go to a different pad then.
